    Its a transition film, and we really should have seen this coming. EON are so goddamned sneaky, they're at it again!

    DAF cranks up the camp factor, as preparation for a more comedic take after Connery.

    AVTAK notches up the violence and edge in advance of Timmy's gruesome twosome.

    DAD plants the seed of a broken Bond before Craig takes the idea and runs with it.

    As we know, the pendulum swings from one side to the other. So who does one inject the kinetic, snappy Bond whilst maintaining the "have something to say" ethos of the Craig era. Danny Boyle is the perfect man for the job, on paper at least.

    Such an obvious fit we really should have seen it coming.


    I'm really looking forward to what comes next after Craig, and the next dawn of Bond when things will be truly fresh, breaking the seal on a new era etc... But they are being very art about how they freshen things up here, to get the best out of what's left of Craig's time in the role.

    I have a good feeling that you're right about this.

    Good observation. The last Boyle movie that was mainly shot on film was Sunshine back in 2007. It really is extremely likely Bond 25 will be shot in digital.

    Funny to think that Bond 26 will probably be shot on film (Nolan dislikes digital.)

    QOS - film
    SF - digital
    SP - film
    Bond 25 - digital

    I’m assuming digital too, if Boyle gets in Dod Mantle. Very much looking forward to what the pair can deliver.

    Of course, the counter argument is that by delaying your brand or product so that your product is the best it can possibly be doesn't necessarily work either. Ironically, both Hodge and Boyle have been given very little time to both write the story and get it into production, which kind of negates the whole extended gap exercise, especially if it's still going to be a bollock-ball-scramble scenario.

    This is an important point.

    I think there's a solid chance that EON have been toiling away very quietly, having been burned by the Sony hacks.

    But I also think there's a solid chance that their 'rest' was too long and that, as you say, it won't have been used to full advantage in order to deliver a better film.

    It’s an important point if you assume they are deliberately delaying, which they aren’t. It’s a bit more complex than that. As has been said before, there’s no correlation between the length of gestation and the quality of the film. I think there’s every reason to be positive.

    Yes.

    Based on Boyle's recent filmography I think we could expect Bond shot on digital again, we'll see. Boyle has a special attachment to that medium.

    A fresh perspective and a new energy are needed; Boyle will bring both.

    I loved the idea of continuity in CR through QoS (especially after decades of non-continuity), but SP was so exhausting that I just want a solid standalone now.

    Definitely. Hopefully we’re in for a treat.

    I’m uneducated about the whole film/digital difference. All I know is I much prefer the way SF looks to how SP looks, and CR and QOS are right behind SF.

    OK, so we have director, scriptwriter, and distribution. Next one I am most interested in is the composer. So glad Newman is gone like the dusty, bland, lazy wind he rode in on. Quite intrigued as to which composer will come on board. It seems like so many possibilities just now. :)

    This is the major thing I'm waiting for confirmation about. Really tried to like the last two scores, but they just didn't work, if you ask me. Hope we get someone who can bring a bit of life to the music.

    I actually did like the Skyfall soundtrack, but Spectre had a lot of bland recycled work. Not all bad, but not what it should have been.

    Boyle has worked with Arnold before on two separate occasions for one of his films and the 2012 Olympics short. While that doesn't confirm his involvement, it wouldn't discount him either. I just hope the score for Bond 25 delivers something awesome and memorable instead of bland and unmemorable.

    You better start hoping Arnold won't return, then.

    Arnold bland and unmemorable? You're out of it. Nice bait though. =))
  • bondjamesbondjames You were expecting someone else?

    They seem to be trying some new things this time, with new people. Long overdue in my view, and hopefully that carries forward to the composer too.

    I do like Arnold and would welcome his return, I was only assuming Boyle would go with someone else.

    Regardless who does it, I hope we get some great uses of the Bond theme. A full use of it during an action scene or two would be lovely.

    Completely.

    I'd also like to see Bond given a clever gadget that gets him out of a sticky situation later. And I'd like to see a villain doing some really villainous deeds, that make you hate him, and makes you want to see what happens when Bond meets him later. And I'd like to see Bond flirting with moneypenny, then getting his mission off M, then getting on a plane, while they all stay in London. And no Bond 'going rogue'. For the first time since TWINE, let's have him do his job.

    And still no word from CashleyPersia about the distributor XD

    Note to everyone: do NOT listen to CashleyPersia...

    I agree...new people helming/writing and a new story especially could inspire the composer to write an exceptional score, such a key component.

    ...I highly doubt there will ever come a time of Bond oversaturation, unless Disney totally buy it out and we have The Monneypenny Diaries, Felix Leiter's Lighting the Fuse, or Oddjob: The Early Years...
    If they greenlight an Oddjob movie, I'd like to see Oddjob's hat get a spinoff. Knowing our crowd someone's probably already made that joke.

    Wouldn't be against Kate Winslet as a Bond girl, actually. She's closer to Craig's age, just as Monica Bellucci in SP.

    Also Universal has some big properties and Bond fits comfortably with them. None are big Marvel/Star Wars/DC titles that would overwhelm Bond.

    Jurassic World
    The Fast and Furious films
    Despicable Me
    The Secret Life of Pets
    Pacific Rim
    Fifity Shades of Grey
    Insidous
    The Bourne films

    They also have big Oscar and prestige clout:

    Darkest Hour
    Get Out
    Phantom Thread
    The Post
    Hail, Caesar!

    You made a great point until you mentioned Fifty Shades of Grey.

    How about Jurassic Bond? Blofeld Jnr creates a clone army of dinosaurs and Bond has to stop them ruling the Earth. The plot includes M saying "don't make it personal, even with dinosaurs, Bond!"
